Like any finely crafted mechanism, your ESQ Movado watch requires periodic maintenance for optimal performance.
Maintenance includes complete disassembly, cleaning, replacement of parts as needed, reassembly and
lubrication of the movement. A maintenance interval of 3 to 5 years is recommended, in addition to any required
battery replacement.
Never open the watch yourself. If your watch needs repair or adjustment, take or mail it directly to an
ESQ Movado Authorized Service Center. For a complete worldwide listing, visit us online at www.mgiservice.com.
NOTE: ESQ Movado assumes responsibility only for service performed at its Authorized Service Centers.
SHOCK
All ESQ Movado watches have shock-resistant movements, and are tested to meet international standards for
shock resistance.
DUST
Dust can enter a watch if the case, crystal or crown is not intact. A small particle is enough to stop the movement.
Have your watch repaired promptly if the crystal becomes loose, chipped or cracked, or if there is damage to
the case or crown.
MAGNETISM
The exposure of a timepiece to strong magnetic fields will affect its time-keeping, and may cause it to stop.
A quartz watch should resume working with its original accuracy when removed from the magnetic field; a
mechanical timepiece may require demagnetization before it will operate again.
WATER RESISTANCE
All ESQ Movado watches are tested to meet international standards for water resistance. Most models are
water resistant to 3 bar (3 ATM/30 meters/99 feet); certain models are water resistant to even greater
pressures/depths, as marked on the dial or case back.
CAUTION: If the water resistance limit is not marked on your watch, do not subject it to a pressure/depth greater
than 3 bar (3 ATM/30 meters/99 feet), or your watch could be damaged and your warranty will be voided.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the watch crown, push-buttons on a chronograph model, or any other pushers/
buttons when the timepiece is wet or under water.
NOTE: ESQ Movado will not be responsible for any damage caused by or related to leakage originating from
improper handling or damage to the case, crown, gaskets or crystal.
To maintain water resistance, yearly maintenance is required. The gaskets and crown which seal the case are
subject to wear and deterioration under normal use. These parts should be inspected and replaced as needed
each time the watch is opened for service, including battery changes.
Your Authorized ESQ Movado Service Center will automatically retest your watch for water resistance as a
routine step in all service orders.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS:
If your watch is equipped with a screw-down crown, be sure to screw it back down into the case after every operation.
